Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1901231953070.16451@snout.codemist.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <83bm478fp3.fsf@gnu.org>
Buid emacs-26 wit no real change. Ran on my machine and got
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
string-match("^\\(imap\\|pop\\)s?$" nil nil)
rmail-remote-proto-p(nil)
rmail-insert-inbox-text(("/var/spool/mail/jpff"
"/mnt/snout/home/jpff/mbox") t)
rmail-get-new-mail-1(nil ("/var/spool/mail/jpff"
"/mnt/snout/home/jpff/mbox") nil)
rmail-get-new-mail(nil)
funcall-interactively(rmail-get-new-mail nil)
call-interactively(rmail-get-new-mail nil nil)
command-execute(rmail-get-new-mail)
The file /mnt/snout/home/jpff/mbox is my mail file mounted via NFS.
The/var/spool/mail/jpff file is local and not used except when the mailer
breaks ie never
Best thought I have is soething to do with the nfs on the new server
(Debian stretch). I did try reading mail from a local file and that
worked.
